Violet Evergarden 03: I'm really let down by this show so far. I'm baffled by how often they tell the viewer that Violet doesn't understand the concept of love... first off, cliché much? Second off, and more importantly, what happened to 'show, don't tell'? Thirdly, I feel like they're hammering it home way to much. And when it comes to this episode in particular... really? She wrote a two sentence "letter" and passed the class? That is a joke. I came into the show knowing literally nothing other than it looks nice visually, and that's really all I can say that's positive three episodes in. Hell, Citrus - a show that is about lesbian step-sister romance - is better written and more emotionally fulfilling show than this is (so far, anyway).

Been a really bad few days, but I finally finished Rosario + Vampire. Apparently Tsukune's mom has the power of the all seeing eye from Blood Blockade Battlefront, because she never opens her eyes.

Overall, I liked the show. It doesn't take itself seriously, with all the sex and breaking the fourth wall, so it's easy to go into with that mindset. Speaking of sex, the nudity is fine, but holy crap they could have at least toned it down with Yukari. At one point she admits to wanting a threesome with her, Tsukune, and Moka. They don't hold off on showing her nude like the others, or sexualize her any less than the others. It's uneasy.

My completed list is over 70, though counting OVA's and different seasons, not sure how many that REALLY is.

Decided to give Kokkoku a whirl and it's pretty damn interesting. I wonder if the whole series will take place in this single "stasis" world. Also, holy shit that OP is awesome. Definitely un-skippable.

Picked up Slow Start. Not bad. Not quite as funny as Mitsuboshi Colors, but it's endearing. Characters are pretty diverse and developed so far. Definitely some hardcore yuri vibes. I like Tama's video game references. Hiroe reminds me of Morioka.

Yep. We have met her though. She was Rin's friend who was seen a couple times playing with Rin's hair and she was the one who told Nadeshiko where Rin was camped that time Nadeshiko showed up to cook Rin hotpot. This is her and her cute little doggy:
